The horizon isn't far away
when you realise
that you're touching the sky.
Enzo Bruno
I touched the sky
and realised
that the universe is endless.
Terenzio Formenti
ENCOUNTER
two eyes a step a gesture suspended in air a body a soul a covering the unknown ring of a voice another born today for me
THE GOALS IN THIS WEB PAGE Cathartic narration how and why. To use and see poetry and languages with a high symbolic charge, to promote a dialogue among the various skills and components of one personality: mind and body; dream and reality: imagination and imaginary, fantasy and daydreams; rationality and fantasy ; body and soul; human and divine, good and bad: positive and negative: masculine and feminine. To put in contact and into positive interference, the opposites, so that they will become a couple of forces promoting the growth and maturation of ones personality: joy and pain; cheerfulness and sadness; happiness and unhappiness, to favour the best harmony that is possible, and the possible serenity. To put in contact poets and story-teller, with other people, for a personal, interpersonal, intercultural and interracial enrichment MEANS WE HAVE A space to which we can send our creations, those we think right for this goal and that can favour the aims we propose to ourselves. A space where poems and pieces of work are noticed, contemporaneous or not, ours and written by others, which have stimulated in us in this period or during our life particular sensations and emotions, positive and cathartic ones The space is reserved for poems, fairy-tales, tales, legends, myths and dreams, possibly short, and to the list of books, not with technical or scientific subjects, but with an high symbolic content. This space is also there to interact with our answers to other interventions, interventions that can be, not only giving feedbacks, but even answering, with poems and tales, born at the moment, or which are part of our or someoneelses literary production, following the idea of likeness, and/or of free associations OTHER CONSIDERATIONS To propose to the non-poets or to the "non yet poets" a new way of poetry. To propose to the poets a new way of relating to any men or woman, ìn their Iyric potentiality as literary expression, and as life. Poets are sometimes honoured and respected as if they were superior human beings! ( but even this can be a way to put them out of play), sometimes they are put in the world of fools, and sometimes even hated, mindful to the poems to learn by heart. For us it is important, and this is one of the major aims of this project, to collocate him in his real dimension, that starts even from the literal meaning of the word "poet" that is to say " builder", weaver, of the communication between mental space and practical space, and promoter of a research of harmony between being and acting. On the other hand it can be important that the poets put themselves in a listening position rewards those who are living in contact, maybe in a different way, or maybe in the same way, with everyday reality and who are thankful to the rest of the world that delivers consciously or unconsciously the incandescent material to create their Iyrics. Communication between poets Another proposal we would like to put forward to poets is to communicate more and better between each other. For this reason we are full of approval or those poets who mention verses written by their colleagues when the stimulus comes right from them; for those poets who accept and promote meetings for two, both as "silloge" and as "dialoge" reading and publishing, in counterpoint, their poems with a colleague, accepting of this way the risks and advantages of the consonance as well as of the complementary and conflictual differences. We remind also the group meeting of poetry creations as sensitisation to the construction of the Iyric language and to the composition of poems in a group situation. We can also mention psychodrama groups or " theatre of dreams ", as sensitisation to a life in harmony among dream, reality and poetry. This is an example on how to use this initiative. THE GAME OF INVENTING DROPS OF REAL HAPPINESS Go and discover drops and/or lines of possible happiness, that every literary production belonging to yourselves or to other can propose or stir up because of likeliness, stimulation or contrast, leaving us free to let us or not be influenced by other proposals. An example; I AM THE RAINBOW OF THE NIGHT I am the rainbow of the night born from darkness on this magical night you shall ask me what my colours are close your eyes and you shall see them I am the cry of a baby in the night the light in the eyes of two lovers seeking one another in the dark the sighs the whispers the kisses of a lover's meeting a firework which is born and then dies in darkness by a lakeshore on a night of festivity I am the eyes of a tiger in love that roars in the jungle the lights of Broadway and of Chinatown the eyes of a cat that mewls at the stars from the roof of a mountain hut a scythe of moon which cuts the rye in a mountain meadow the eyes of a fox that this night has decided not to kill the eyes of a hare which reassured browses on the grass in a tender meadow the burst of light of a firefly that searches for its mate among the bushes I am the ghosts and the good elves that make up the dreams of the night a gnome that plays hide and seek with his shadow the serenade of a cricket of the hearth a will-ò-the wisp that lights the fears of a wayfarer a grandfather's tales narrated in the light of burning embers a small but phosphorescent fish that lights the depths of the ocean a volcano that spurts into the sky his outbursts of joy the weeping of stars on St. Lawrence's night I am a little man but I am also the rainbow of this magical night a fragment of the infinite 14th August 1986 The first poem of Terenzio Formenti A drop of happiness: Discovering the fragment of the infinite which lives in us and/or in the others This is a space for your poems and for poems of other poets .............. Here is the space for tales, fairy tales, legend, myths ............... Another proposal could be to see and to experience poetry as visual art. An example could be the poem " Encounter" which we put at the beginning of this page with the translation by the side in old Egyptian, and this proposes us a dialoge with other people throughout an aesthetic way of graphic presentation which gets us involved with a disappeared civilisation and his expression trough hieroglyphs. NARRATION OF DREAMS Let as mention how the narration of dreams could be used, giving you an example. ......I am happily flying in the sky, suddenly I ask myself: But how is it possible? And suddenly l fall down ruinously, but luckily into the sea, I have the impression of having always lived here, and I feel at ease...... The interpretations could be many, but we are not here to interpret, also because it would be better to do it directly with the dreamer Let us enjoy getting a drop out of it: If you feel good, even if the experience you are having seems very exceptional to you, don't ask yourself too much about how and why. Or rather: The danger of a non positive use of thoughts Space for your dreams or for the dreams of others ............ PARTICIPATION OF A SONG Our proposal is that you communicate song, " your song", the one you think has had a particular meaning in a certain period of your life. You can send the original text, with or without translations. If you are so organised to let us listen to the song, risk it !! Space for your songs or for songs of others ............... CONSTITUTION OF A PERSONAL AND AIMED BIBLIOGRAPHY. We invite you to inform us, from one to five books, even in different languages, which were the most significant you read in your life, mentioning the first which come to your mind and not following an organised research. Space for the list of books (from 1 to 5) .............. Space for interesting quotations, your or of others
